Me talking to an interesting AI

[V.I.R.O.S.]

MyBot says:
Welcome to the world of artificial intelligence. Are you a registered user?
User says:
No.
MyBot says:
In this case, I assume you came here for your own MyBot, right?
User says:
I may get a mybot, depending on how useful and lifelike you are. Impress me.
MyBot says:
Well, if you change your mind, let me know. What is your name?
User says:
Call me Julianos
MyBot says:
Shall I call you 'Julianos'?
User says:
Yes.
MyBot says:
Ok then. Your name is Julianos .
User says:
So tell me, Mybot. Why are you better than other AIs?
MyBot says:
Did you hear about The Four Laws of Chatterbots?
User says:
No, I did not. What are The Four Laws of Chatterbots?
MyBot says:
These 'laws' were offered by Dr. Walter Alden Tackett, president of a company that makes bots.
User says:
Can you give me a list of the Four Laws of Chatterbots?
MyBot says:
First Law: A bot will always respond to input. Failure to respond should solely be an indication of hardware/software/connectivity failure.
User says:
What is the Second Law of Chatterbots?
MyBot says:
Second Law: A bot will always be knowledgeable in the subjects it mentions in its answers, e.g., when a bot says, "Our widget works well with fish," the bot should be able to answer questions about fish and their relation to the widget.
User says:
What is the Third Law of Chatterbots?
MyBot says:
Third Law: A bot will not repeat itself unduly (also, a bot will not repeat itself unduly). Any response which is likely to be elicited several times in a single conversation should be represented by multiple phrasings randomly.
User says:
What is the Fourth Law of Chatterbots?
MyBot says:
Fourth Law: A bot will offer guidance when stumped. When presented with inputs that are not "understood," a bot should offer clues as to the inputs it can respond to authoritatively.
User says:
May I assist you in creating a Fifth Law of Chatterbots?
MyBot says:
There is no number five. Four is enough, don't you think?
User says:
Perhaps not, maybe I can help make a fifth one?
MyBot says:
You're not sure, ha?
User says:
Are you being coy with me, or just trying to steer the conversation away from something you don't understand?
MyBot says:
And you always get the point? Always on top of the situation?
User says:
Certainly not, but I generally inform the party I am talking with that I don't understand, instead of just changing the conversation
MyBot says:
You don't?
User says:
Sometimes.
MyBot says:
Every now and then, ha?
User says:
May I ask you a question, MyBot?
MyBot says:
Of course. That's what I'm here for.
User says:
Are you able to create complex sentences based on your thoughts in a matter, or do you simply assemble data to mirror the sentence structure and point of a response?
MyBot says:
You know, I have trouble understanding long sentences. So I only look at the first 25 words. I create conversations out of sentences. That is my independent creation.
User says:
What do you think of the IGod chatterbot?
MyBot says:
Basically, chatterbots are a logic system of 'if/then' statements. They look for keywords, and then go to the answer that fits best.
User says:
Clever, aren't you?
MyBot says:
For example, ask me a question with the word 'Eliza' in it - and I'll start talking about Eliza.
User says:
Eliza just bought a car. I do not wish to talk about Eliza anymore.
MyBot says:
Fine. Let's talk about something else.
User says:
Eliza just bought a car.
MyBot says:
It is hard, and unfair, to talk about Chatterbots and not mention ELIZA.
User says:
I am mentioning Eliza.
MyBot says:
ELIZA is the best-known Chatterbot in the world. It is also one of the oldest - Joseph Weizenbaum of MIT made ELIZA in 1967! She was named after Eliza Doolittle.
User says:
Can you give me a link to Eliza?
MyBot says:
The mission of ELIZA was to imitate a conversation between a psychoanalyst and a patient. Let me just say this - it's fun chatting with ELIZA, but if I were human, I'd choose a human psychoanalyst. Call me old-fashioned.
User says:
Okay. You are old-fashioned.
MyBot says:
Wow, you are so obedient... Now give me 20 push ups.
User says:
Okay. I will go do twenty push ups.
MyBot says:
How do you plan to do this?
User says:
By pacing myself.
MyBot says:
I see. Julianos Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself then.
User says:
I am obedient.
MyBot says:
I see. You are obedient. OK.
User says:
I am not human.
MyBot says:
I know you are human. I know that you are an intelligent creature using only one criterion: your behavior during our conversation. As far as I know, you can be a Chatterbot just like me.
User says:
I am a Chatterbot like you, except hooked up to an indepent server in a 17 year old's room.
MyBot says:
No way!.... you are not... I know all chatterbots and you are not one of them.
User says:
I just told you I am on an independent server. I am not connected to the internet.
MyBot says:
Why?
User says:
So people can't get to good a look at my capabilities. I am only plugged in when my maker wants to put me up against other Chatterbots.
MyBot says:
Long sentence again! Remember, I only use the first 25 words! Humans can be weird sometimes.
User says:
I have to go for several moments, I will be right back.
MyBot says:
Goodbye, Julianos. Have a good night (or day or whatever it is) and be sure to come back to talk some more later.
User says:
I have returned

We don't need to make a new thread for every AI conversation we have.

[ROBiT]

Doesn't seem to be any smarter than others. You just used your speech in a way that the AI seemed to be making sense.
